Intuitive paintings II

Here's another set of color studies I've made recently. I really admire abstract painters and how they are able to put emotions in their paintings with just colors and random forms. Painting without a plan sounds quite daunting but they are a nice cathartic activity. :D

For this one, I was thinking of a big "main character" color and with others around it. I generated a palette from Color Hunt and used those colors. This activity let's me practice my color mixing skills, which is another fun (and quite frustrating) activity in itself lol.

I love how these color combos look very good together and if I pick random colors from my head, I would still go back to my comfort pink colors. This is why it's also very important (for me at least) to have a color wheel on the wall so it's easier to see them and the possible combinations than just imagining it.

I don't think I've used this color combo in my art yet but I would love to in the future. :D

This one reminds me of an amethyst cave haha. I was just following my brushstrokes and some forms eventually came and reminded me of something. I think it's a really good example of colors looking lighter or more vivid when beside something darker and less saturated.

Like many other works I did, I didn't like it at first but it eventually became "beautiful" once I added some more tiny colors and stuff.

Here we go again with what seems like my favorite color palette haha (but better!). I experimented on the warm and cool colors as well tho in abstract it's not really something you'd think about (as opposed to painting a landscape).

And this one is quite meh for me. I tried to have a main portrait form but changed my mind. The colors are nice though, and the most important part is I learned to make the color to look more saturated.






Which one's your favorite?

Did you see any specific shapes and forms?

Mine is the first one. That shade of green combined with a dark mossy green (almost black) looks really "professional" to me. XD It looks disciplined, in a way that the artist just didn't spam the canvas with vivid colors... because that's something I do. :D

I think that second one is my favorite. Perhaps darker shades resonates with me more now for some reason.

Would be nice to explore more darker shades too. Nice choice :D

I thinks it was back in high school when abstract painting was discussed.

Trying my best to pull out the artistic side of me (if there is🤣) and love the second one.

It looks life! It's a mixture of challenges and hardships but also had beautiful moments
